Moving Stories – Sims Williams helps Tracey with her life-changing move

Back to news

Moving into her dream bungalow in Climping, near Arundel, means Tracey Taylor can now read a bedtime story to her seven-year-old daughter Poppy.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) sufferer Tracey, uses a wheelchair and she was struggling to get upstairs in the Yapton house she shared with Poppy and husband Jake.

A quick move was important

Tracey says, “We needed to move to a bungalow as soon as possible because I was no longer able to access some areas of my own home and this was taking its toll on our family life.”

The Taylor’s found the perfect bungalow in nearby Climping which was on the market with independent local estate agents Sims Williams.

“When Pam Bunting from Sims Williams showed us around the bungalow, we knew instantly it was the perfect property for us and we put an offer in on our way home.”

“We needed to sell our house to make it happen so we asked Sims Williams to carry out a valuation. Richard Moores came to see us and he was so friendly and genuine that we signed up with Sims Williams on the spot, and I’m so glad we did,” says Tracey.

Sims Williams secured over 98% of the asking price and the move took just 10 weeks.

Working closely with both parties, Sims Williams agreed an exclusivity period with the bungalow vendor and pulled out all the stops to market and sell the Taylor’s Yapton home.

Members of the Sims Williams sales team accompanied six viewings and the Taylor’s accepted an offer which was over 98% of their asking price.

Within 10 weeks, Tracey, Jake and Poppy were living in their new home and feeling like they’d been there forever.

 

The move was so speedy and stress-free

“I’m still pinching myself and enjoying the freedom that my new home gives me. I am so grateful to Sims Williams for making our move so speedy and stress-free – they literally took care of every step of the process and every member of the team was so friendly and helpful.”

“This move has literally been life-changing for me and my family and I count my lucky stars that Sims Williams helped make it all happen – they really were on our side,” says Tracey.

Richard Moores, a partner at Sims Williams says, “Our whole team appreciated how important this move was for Tracey and her family and I’m delighted we were able to secure a good price for both the vendor and the Taylor’s.”

AMAZING SERVICE

We’d had a bit of a journey with our house sale. All the ladies went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure everything went smoothly and we were happy.

A 19 week stressful purchase!

Our sale took 19 weeks from beginning to end. No ones fault there was just a few obstacles to overcome on our purchase! But through it all John Wyatt was exemplary in his manner and the way he looked after us. Nothing was too much trouble, umpteen telephone conversation where he allayed our fears and worries. Kept us informed re our buyer, all the way through. We thoroughly recommend Sims Williams at Bognor Regis. One old fashioned estate agent that values you as a customer and never makes you feel that they are doing you a favour.

EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE

I can't praise the Walberton team enough - really wish they had been are agents for selling our property as they were so efficient, organised and the customer service was fantastic. Prompt responses and nothing was to much trouble. Especially Lin - who's calm approach kept me sane and rational!

Professional and friendly service.

We've let our flat through Sims Williams for about 4 years. They have always been professional and helpful and communication has also been excellent. I would recommend them to anyone wanting to let a property in the West Sussex area.

No Hesitation Recommending Sims Williams

Sims Williams have always provided constructive development advice on various schemes for us. Their local knowledge on both house type demand and suitable blends, together with their extensive research of comparable prices, gives me great confidence in the information they provide. Having successfully marketed our Holly Tree Grove development of 7 executive homes, I would have no hesitation in recommending the services of Sims Williams. Their local knowledge, proactive marketing and advice on values was second to none.
